The World This Hour for 2025/09/08 at 12:00 EDT

Hugh is a rock climber, a white supremacist, a Jewish neo-Nazi, a spam king, a crypto-billionaire, and then someone killed him. It is truly a mystery. It is truly a case of who done it. Dirtbag Climber, the story of the murder and the many lives of Jesse James. Available now wherever you get your podcasts. From CBC News, it's the world this hour. I'm Joe Cummings. We're getting details this hour on the federal government's tariff relief plans for Atlantic Canada.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is in St. John's, rolling out a liberal economic initiative that follows a number of sweeping measures introduced last week. They were aimed at, among other areas, the steel industry and western canola producers. The U.S. Supreme Court has gone. cleared the way for federal agents to conduct sweeping immigration operations in the city of Los Angeles. The justices today lifted a restraining order that had barred agents from stopping people slowly based on race or language. The Trump administration argued successfully that the order wrongly restricted agents from carrying out their duties in the crackdown on illegal immigration. Israeli security services

say the deadly shooting attack in Jerusalem today was carried out by two Palestinians from the West Bank. Six people were killed when the two gunmen opened fire at a busy transit hub. More than a dozen people were injured, and police say the attackers were shot and killed on the scene. Here is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It's Netanyahu saying the murders do not weaken us. They only strengthen our determination. There's no claim of responsibility at this point, but Hamas has praised the gunman,

saying their actions are, quote, a natural response to the occupation's crimes against our people. Now to Nepal, where at least 19 people have been killed in protests near the grounds of the country's parliament.

About two dozen sites are blocked, including Facebook and YouTube. The government says it's part of their efforts to get tech companies to formally register in the country.

Back to Washington and U.S. President Donald Trump, he is considering a new round of sanctions against Russia in the wake of this weekend's stepped-up bombing campaign on

Kiev. Willie Lowry has more. President Donald Trump has been reluctant to use sanctions as a way to get Russia to end its war of aggression in Ukraine.

I'm not happy with anything having to do with that war. Now, what the sanctions might look like, very unclear. And the Kremlin defiant. It says no amount of sanctions will get it to change course in Ukraine. The U.S. President said he expected several European leaders to head to Washington as early as today or Tuesday. We know that EU sanctions envoy David O'Sullivan is already here. O'Sullivan and his team are expected to meet with U.S. officials to discuss sanctions.

But just a few weeks ago, leaders from several countries, including France, Germany and the U.K., met with Trump at the White House. It didn't really move the needle, and the war has only intensified. Willie Lowry, CBC News, Washington. The co-founder of one of the most popular bands of the 1970s has died.
